This is truly an inspiring story of a boy who wouldn't take "NO for an answer". He fought his life to achieve his dream education after he was failed by the bottled neck education system in his country. Simon did not relinquish his hope, albeit, there was limited opportunities at that time. His tale and his experience are documented in this book to rekindle despairing hearts and minds of dropouts that they still have potentials and opportunities to excel in their lives. Parents and relatives ... this book is valuable gift for your children; it will open them up furthering their education. If Simon can do it, they too can do it, and this book provides a living testimony of that reality. Comments on Review: Simon's biography is an adventure into the wonderful world pf positive thinking. As a young man, he set himself a goal, and nothing could stand in his way, even when educational opportunities were still very limited. But more than this, Simon tells a wonderful story of family life and love, of ups and down of life, and of a Papua New Guinea that is rapidly changing. I commend this book to you as an uplifting and inspiring story of a man who wouldn't take NO for an answer. It's a must read for all teenagers....and their parents. Anne Cullinan NSW, Australia
